I've gone thru that tutorial before I came to seek help on
the community newsgroup. I've edited my system.ini file
and win.ini file but to no avail. My problem was still not
solved. I even attempted to download MJPG codec from
websites but problem still unsolved(Perhaps what I've
downloaded were not MJPG codecs?). Anyway, TAJ's solution
proved to be very helpful. Maybe u would like to take a
look at it?http://www.powerpointbackgrounds.com/powerpointtips.htm

Thanks for trying.
